How are Umbrella Hats a thing? Is it weird that I want one? Who am I? Haaaaalp!
(It gets even weirder. Check this one out!)
Rocket Coffee Maker
My kids and I are currently house swapping with a Swiss family. We have been doing so for years, every summer. What I love most about it is that I get to dip into someone else’s life and the products they use and love. The family we are currently swapping with owns a Rocket Coffee Maker and it makes me want to change the locks and never leave. I get the sense it’s the Porsche of Coffee Makers. I admit, it makes my heart sing every morning when I get up. Check out this beauty. The coffee is A+!
(We are not using a service to find a family to swap houses with. We are going through friends and family. But I heard many good things of behomm.com. Check them out!)
Snorkeling Mask
I am currently in Switzerland with my kids and keep seeing these snorkeling masks everywhere. What an intriguing design! Are they fun to use? Comfortable? Anyone tried one of these?
Isometric Notebook
This isometric notebook is beautifully trippy.
Optimist / Pessimist Tote
I want this tote so I can embroider a red strike-through on the Pessimist side.
Junghans Max Bill Chronoscope
I gasped, seeing this beauty of a watch. I never wishlisted anything this hard.
Endless Rain Record
This atmospheric record has circular grooves on its “drop” side, allowing raindrop sounds to loop endlessly. Lovely.
Ello Ceramic Travel Mug
This Ceramic Travel Mug by Ello won my heart.
Half: Indigo Rings
Intrigued by this rainbow-y looking sculpture by MQuan Studio.
Porter To-Go Bowls
This travel container made me look. Stylish, and according to my friend Katherine, completely air tight. She biked with it to work and nothing spilled, even tough the contents were soupy. Katherine doesn’t exaggerate. I must buy.
Oven Dish Noir
Look at this cast iron beauty.
Salt & Pepper
A minimal version of the Salt & Pepper mill designed for the ACE hotel restaurant in London.
Ceramic Rainbow
A ceramic rainbow to hang on your wall? YES PLEASE! It’s by artist Lorien Stern and at this point unfortunately sold out. Let’s hope she brings them back! I am definitely wishlisting this!
Indoor Fountain
Loving this chic, minimalist, white-noise-producing desktop fountain by Los Angeles-based ceramicist Lily Clark. This would make for a way nicer cat fountain than the one I own.
Bamboo Basket
This bamboo basket with leather handles is absolutely lovely. Totally wishlisted.
Courageous Women Throw
This Courageous Woman Blanket won my heart. Wishlisted!
Circle Tote
Something tells me Maria, aka brainpickings, would love this tote.
Stone Door Stop
While traveling through upstate NY last week I discovered this tiny and design-y shop called Sunny’s pop. And, I fell in love with this doorstop.
Book Rest Lamp
I love the idea of this book rest lamp so much. Wishlisted!
Matte Black Glass Pitcher
A matte black glass pitcher with a sculptural quality! Gah! Take my money!
Fujiyama Glass
Ok, I realize this glass is pricey with its $100 price tag but look at it! It’s absolutely stunning! I love and agree with this line in the product description: “a good drink requires a good presentation”. It is inspired by Japan’s tallest mountain, Mt. Fuji and is handblown by master craftsmen at Sugahara Glassworks. Wishlisted!
Entryway Mosaic Floor
Last week I was invited to a friend’s house and this is the mosaic that greeted me at the entryway. What a stunning statement right at the entrance of a home! The masterpiece is by Sarah Donato. I learned from the owner Jules that they were inspired by Nick Misani’s work.
Now I am dreaming of one day renovating a home and being able to hire Sarah to make me a custom mosaic. One day! One day!
Wishbeads Intention Bracelet
Oh, I love how you can tuck your wish or intention inside this handmade beaded bracelet.
